Question
Few statements are given regarding nodes in the orbitals. Mark the statement which is not correct.
A.
In case of $${p_z}$$ - orbital, $$xy$$ plane is a nodal plane.
B.
$$ns$$ - orbital has $$\left( {n + 1} \right)$$ nodes.
C.
The number of angular nodes is given by $$l.$$
D.
The total number of nodes is given by $$\left( {n - 1} \right)$$ i.e. sum of $$l$$ angular nodes and $$\left( {n - l - 1} \right)$$ radial nodes.
Answer :
$$ns$$ - orbital has $$\left( {n + 1} \right)$$ nodes.
Solution :
$$ns$$ orbital has $$\left( {n - 1} \right)$$ nodes.
